<h3 id="rationale">Rationale:</h3>
<p>You are using <code>&amp;</code>, <code>;</code>,
<code>&amp;&gt;</code> or similar after a here document. This is not
allowed.</p>
<p>This should instead be part of the line that initiated the here
document, i.e. the one with the <code>&lt;&lt;</code>.</p>
<p>If it helps, look at <code>&lt;&lt; "END"</code> as if it was
<code>&lt; file</code>, and make sure the resulting command is valid.
This is what the shell does. You can then append here document data
after the command.</p>
<h3 id="exceptions">Exceptions:</h3>
<p>None.</p>
